78M12 Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The 78M12 is a three-terminal positive voltage regulator from Texas Instruments, designed to provide stable 12V output voltage. It features a maximum output current of 0.5A and can handle input voltages up to 35V. The device is useful for a wide range of applications requiring local on-card regulation, which helps eliminate distribution problems associated with single-point regulation.

 

Key electrical characteristics include an output voltage tolerance of ±0.5V at 25°C, a typical dropout voltage of 2V, and a quiescent current of up to 6mA. The operating junction temperature range is from 0°C to +125°C. The regulator is available in several package types, including TO-220, TO-220FP, DPAK, and IPAK, making it versatile for different PCB layouts and thermal management needs.

 

Bypass capacitors are recommended for optimum stability and transient response, and should be located as close as possible to the regulator's input and output pins. The 78M12 series offers a robust solution for power management in various electronic systems.
